    The Last Ninja- I remember years ago my brother playing some game on the commodore 64 with a ninja in it, like in a big house and each room had different 'wallpaper' is that the same game??
    Why wait? The price won't drop on RDR for some time yet, you may get it pre owned for £30.. yes you can ride horses it's your main mode of transport, the horse physics are the best of any game yet. A wild west game..? doesn't sound great, but the whole experience is faultless.. man I went hunting last night.. bighorn, grizzly, cougar, bobcat, elk, coyote, wolf, boar, snake, eagle, crow.. got back to town to trade it in and bagged nearly $4,000 for my effort, beaver pelts go for $24 a pop! mind you it was proper out there, those Grizzly's put up a fight and boar don't mess about either.. still it's all in a days work on the frontier.. picked up my earnings from the storekeeper.. put on my best threads and went playing poker with the guys.. was up $30 and was all going well until I got rumbled for cheating and had to take my accuser out in a gunfight... yeeeehaaw!

    Yes exactly, but there is much more happening in a random manner, AI events make the sandbox environment much less predictable. With GTA when you have finished the missions or are free-raoming, the options are limited and soon become a bit repetitive, steal cars, shoot police... RDR has more of an RPG feel to it such as Fallout 3, where freeroaming triggers events whose outcome effect your persona and others perspective toward you. It's also a beautiful environment, alive with people and animals and wonderfully cinematic. Straying into a gang hideout area as night falls, triggering a random gunfight as a thunderstorm rolls in, taking your time to find cover and get the last of the bandits as the storm moves across the scene.. coming out victorious as the sun comes over the horizon and the mist rises from the sodden foothills in the distance.. getting on your horse and heading back to the relative safety of civilization.. epic stuff inspired by Sam Peckinpah and Sergio Leone

    My friggin' bootleg of Red Dead Redemption took a shit about 10 minutes ago- it was a pretty amazing game for the 90 minutes it worked, though.

    Fok off, Ant.

    Now you're talking about those old games, where it was almost impossible to win. These days every game is completable. I can't tell you how many hours I put into Rocket Ranger, but it was quite a few, and I only made it to the moon a few times, but I enjoyed every cut scene. And Impossible mission did turn out to be an Impossible mission.

    Somewhere along the way game designers found out it was easier to sell a game that everyone could complete... hence the last Ninja and every other FPS out there.

    If only gamers these days had to play Green Beret, up against a well-equiped army armed with only a knife. Kids these days don't know how easy they have it.

    I played Green Beret with a 2 bit processor and 1 bit of Ram, that's how hard we were in those days.

    Had to wait 5 weeks for it to load up on the tape deck.

    Hell, I used to play games on my Commodore 64 that I had to type up and load myself from computer magazines- used to take forever, one typo could screw you up but good, and the games generally sucked monkey balls.

    Only if you had to restart it 5 times cause it didn't load proper.


    Otherwise you're a complete FPS whinger.

    Unless you had to both type and play that game in the cold in bare feet then I don't want to hear your namby-pamby, spoiled by modern convenience, whinging!

    And did you ever go to that planet in Elite where you got attacked like every time you jumped (not when you had the super equiped ship) and got owned every time?

    Well, I used to do that on a ZX81 in Invercargil while a 2000 knot gale was knocking down the walls of the house and WINZ was trying to drag me away from me computer.

    I owned the entire Command & Conquer online community on one screen whilst owning the entire Crysis 5 community on another moniter.

    I only regret that I didn't have another monitor to own the MOH online prescence at the same time, whilst the snow beat down in a 9 hurricane, dodging flying sheep, and dodging earthquakes.

    Please, do you take me for a gullible fool??

    You're from Invers... No way would you have been trying to 'dodge' those sheep!

    I remember a couple of easy games on c64 that I used to love. One was called Wheelies I think??? little round things on wheels could have had a different name cos when i searched for it on google it didn't look the same.

    And this other game called superkid which I think came free with a magazine or summat, where you had to rescue kids and get oaps to a library???

    No way. There is plenty to do after missions. Download stuff, from gtagarage for one, or gamigo. Get into the bowels of the game and mod handling for example. GTA is a game suited for PC. If I had to play it on PS I'd go mad with boredom.

    Stunts will keep you busy. Here's one of mine. This car goes 3,000 kph.

    YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

    XBOX 360 Don't get me wrong GTA4 is one of my all time top titles, and there is plenty to do even on the console, but RDR really has taken the sandbox to a higher level.

    Keyboard and mouse. Not played a lot yet, I just bought the game and was busy the last two days.

    Red Dead Redemption

    I've finished the single player storyline after about 50 hours of gameplay, it can be done quicker, but I wasn't exactly taking my time, just building my character with some of the side missions along the way. I'm now 64 hours in and at 93.4% complete. Now that's a lot of game by any standard.

    I just have to say that the storyline ending is the best I've ever seen in a game, well it's not exactly an ending as such, I don't want to spoil it, but where you think the story will end, it opens up into the next chapter and carries on in that vein with more missions and then finishes with a wicked twist to the tale.
    The scriptwriting is equal to that of a great movie.

    As I've said it's not an ending as such, I'm already playing the next chapter. There is no Red Dead Redemption 2, this game will continue for some time yet with downloadable content adding more missions and storylines. In the meantime there is still plenty to keep me interested, even if I do complete it 100%, there are always random AI mission to sidetrack me, and now I've got my Marshall's badge, keeping the peace in the wild west is a full time job.
